I usually fill-up one of those orange hand-baskets on advertised `cherries’. I paid Snap-On prices for years, but they were a business expense then. I bought something last Saturday for $3.00 that Sears had on sale for $20.00—same thing.
It’s axiomatic in political science that if you have to choose between appealing to patriotism or pocketbook, at least if you want to win, appeal to the pocketbook.
And have you noticed that some of the same people who make the argument that it’s OK to buy Japanese cars because they are a value (compared to American steel) then have the temerity to argue that Nissan, Toyota and Honda are “American companies” because Americans work there?
And then they urge us to `Buy American’?

I have never bought a non-U.S. badged car, but I would much rather buy a foreign badged item made by U.S. workers than a foreign made item distributed by U.S. sellouts.
